Course Summary

Bioengineering is the application of engineering practices and principles to analyse and design new processes, tools and techniques, in order to bridge gaps across biological and healthcare challenges. It applies fundamental engineering principles to the innovation and design of new products and processes, and plays an integral role in global issues where the challenge or solution is biological in origin. Our Bioengineering degree draws from our expertise across several academic departments and will give you a thorough grounding in engineering systems and applications relevant to bioengineering. You will also gain a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology and biological functions and the ability to apply your knowledge and skills to bioengineering problems. The field is rapidly developing, and bioengineers work in a wide variety of sectors globally, developing products and creating technology to help people achieve a better quality of life and break barriers in medical and sporting achievements. Examples include prosthetics and biomaterial implants, software engineering for advanced and 3D medical imaging, image-guided and robot assisted surgery, regenerative medicine against incurable diseases, tissue engineering such as bioengineered skin for wounds, 3D bioprinting, medical device development and new assistive technologies (wearable technology, mobile and e-health). At Loughborough, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures. In year three, students will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of academic staff.

Course Details – Assessment Method

You are assessed by a mixture of coursework and written examinations. The course is highly interactive with a wide range of teaching methods, so assessments vary from module to module, but overall the approximate ratio is 60/40 exams/coursework. Modules containing design-orientated work, individual and group projects are also assessed by oral presentation, and in some cases poster/video presentation to allow entrepreneurial, team working and leadership skills development.

BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in a relevant subject: DDD, with Distinctions in all modules, to include; Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems, and Further Engineering Mathematics, plus A Level Maths at grade A. Preferred subjects: Engineering, Mechanical or Manufacturing.

We accept a wide range of international qualifications for entry as outlined on our website – please view the individual course typical offers on our website and choose Ireland in the Country/region drop down field for more information.

Applicants taking the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma will be asked to achieve the A level requirements for their course as part of their qualification. The Skills Challenge Certificate will be accepted alongside two A levels providing individual course entry and subject requirements are met. www.lboro.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/apply/entry-requirements/

We consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects or a combination of the Pre-U and A levels, provided a minimum of three subjects overall are taken. We recognise the benefit of the Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) course in developing independent study and research skills. While we would consider this as evidence of motivation to study a specific subject in more depth, we do not generally include it as part of our offer conditions. However, it may be used to further consider an application upon receipt of final examination results.
